Is the move to low-latency satellite connectivity changing the way governments and enterprises work in LATAM? Yes. Here is how we at SES are staying ahead, and it’s not only about low latency. For high-performance connectivity, there are four key factors that only MEO can deliver. O3b mPOWER provides high throughput per terminal, predictable low latency, high network availability, and flexibility. These are guarantees that LEO cannot match. Since 2014, our O3b MEO constellation has offered low latency, high network availability, and excellent throughput. O3b mPOWER takes it further with new levels of scale, flexibility, and performance. #HighPerformanceConnectivity #MEO #O3bmPOWER #LowLatency #NetworkAvailability #Throughput #LEO #SatelliteTechnology #Flexibility #ConnectivitySolutions #Innovation #SatelliteNetworks #FutureOfConnectivity

Mexico’s telecom regulator and MVNO association join forces to boost MVNO business The Mexican telecom regulatory authority, the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT), and AMOMVAC - the Mexican Association of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (#MVNO) - have signed an agreement to develop joint initiatives for the promotion of MVNO services. The sharing of statistical information, research projects, training programs and human resource development, are some of the activities that the IFT and AMOMVAC will carry out jointly, as a result of the collaboration agreement. Mexico has more than 100 MVNOs in operation, with a 12.3% share of the total mobile telephony service market, and according to Javier Juárez Mojica, Acting President Commissioner of the IFT, the MVNOs represent “more options to choose from, to the benefit of users and productive sectors, such as SMEs, as well as specific projects in the fields of education and financial inclusion.” “AMOMVAC's objectives of promoting innovation, competition and sustainable development in the sector are in line with those of the IFT, and with our constitutional mandate for the efficient development of telecommunications and broadcasting. Therefore, it is important that together we create the conditions that allow the full development of this sector, which is becoming increasingly important.” IFT Commissioner Sóstenes Díaz said, the progress that MVNOs are showing is due, in part, to the specific regulatory framework for this sector to access the operators' networks, and with this commitment, the aim is for the synergy between both entities to foster better conditions for their development”. Rocio Villanueva Cordero, President of AMOMVAC said: “The purpose of the agreements is to produce a result that is visible and tangible. We are like SMEs in the telecom sector, that thick band that generates jobs, seeks users, maintains a service and is concerned about its business. We are small, but many.” Commissioner Arturo Robles-Rovalo said that this is one more example of the interest that both AMOMVAC and IFT have in working for the benefit of Mexican users, since MVNOs are a key part of the country's digital ecosystem. “Their support is of great value to the Institute, especially at a time as complex as the one we are living in, when the benefits of an independent regulator continue to be questioned. Since this model has been in place, not only have telecom and mobile operators with networks grown, but also MVNOs; precisely because decisions are made in favor of users.” Agustín Tiburcio, responsible for synergies for the B2B sector and SMEs at AMOMVAC said: “MVNOs are a fundamental and very important part in the development of telecommunications in our country, especially for the growth of companies and for them to be much more efficient.” #OMV #B2B #FinacialInclusion #DigitalEconomy #Education https://lnkd.in/gKJrtHDf

🌐𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝟓𝐆 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲? Panama has recently embarked on its journey toward 𝐟𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐡-𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝟓𝐆) 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, marking a significant milestone for the country. During an event at the Megápolis Convention Center, which included industry leaders and local regulators, it was announced that Más Móvil Panamá of Cable & Wireless Panama has initiated a testing phase for its #5G network in the 3.5 GHz band. This 📶 spectrum has been temporarily provided free of charge by the Autoridad Nacional de los Servicios Públicos (ASEP). Rocio Lorenzo, CEO of Más Móvil Panamá, described this initiative as a pivotal development for #Panama, ushering in new possibilities and solutions for the country. She emphasized that the launch of these pilot projects not only reinforces +Móvil's commitment to Panama and its customers but also advances the transformation of network services through 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. ASEP's general manager, Armando Fuentes Rodríguez, highlighted the government's support for developing 𝟓𝐆 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐚. He stressed the regulator's role in facilitating investments that benefit consumers, underlining the significance of handling this development with seriousness, ethics, and responsibility. The temporary spectrum allocation is part of a broader strategy by ASEP, which includes a public consultation to be published before June, aiming to assign spectrum bands by the end of 2024. The 𝟑.𝟓 𝐆𝐇𝐳 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝, considered optimal for #5G, is being reallocated for 📲 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 use within the year. This initiative is a response to the competitive nature of the 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 and an effort to bridge the digital divide. The process reflects Panama's proactive approach to embracing advanced technologies like 5G, which promises to enhance sectors such as 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝟒.𝟎, logistics, robotics, and medicine through 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 and 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 transmission speeds.

América Móvil recognizes aggressive competition from MVNO with lower prices América Móvil recognized that the Mexican market is very competitive and will continue to be so in the coming years, as some rivals, especially mobile virtual network operators (#MVNO), are launching "aggressive offers” with which it is increasingly difficult to compete. The operator highlighted the case of the MVNO #Bait , which is the prepaid mobile service of the retailer Walmart de México y Centroamérica. The MVNO ended 2023 with more than 11.8 million users, according to a Walmart report to its shareholders. América Móvil also referred to other competitors, such as AT&T and Telefónica. In a call with investors and analysts to discuss its first quarter results, Daniel Hajj, CEO of América Móvil said. “Speaking of Bait, they are being very aggressive and offering great promotions; I don't know how profitable they will be, but they are applying them. . . And maybe they are unlocking some new subscribers, but we don't know how long they will stay with them.” América Móvil's statement comes a week after it filed a lawsuit against Altán Redes, the company responsible for managing "#RedCompartida", a national, independent 4G wholesale network - and the result of the Mexican Government’s effort to overhaul its telecommunications industry by introducing competition via MVNOs into the marketplace. According to media reports such as Expansión, América Móvil's lawsuit against Altán Redes is for alleged anti-competitive practices by charging lower rates to lease its infrastructure to MVNOs such as Bait, which in return allows them to offer prices that traditional mobile operators like Telcel cannot match. At least 53 MVNOs launched and began operations in 2021 and 2022, and at the end of 2022 a total of 111 MVNOs were operating in Mexico. Of the 111 MVNOs operating in Mexico 61% of them were doing so only via Red Compartida. 22% via one of the traditional operators (Telefónica, Telcel, AT&T), and the remaining 17% using both a traditional operator and Red Compartida. From 2020 to 2023, the MVNOs solely using the Red Compartida increased from 43% to 61%, which confirms that Red Compartida is important for the commercialization and development of the MVNO market.

The company added 1.5 million mobile subscribers in the first quarter, of which 1.3 million were postpaid customers. https://lnkd.in/gWgTqWVi

Decentralized RAN for Telecom Networks Telefonica and Nova Labs launched Helium Mobile Hotspots in Mexico. The Helium network is an open-sourced, decentralized network owned and operated by the people. Helium Mobile relies on a network of Mobile Hotspots. These hotspots are like “mini cell towers” deployed by subscribers. Anyone can participate in creating mobile coverage where it’s needed the most. When others connect to these hotspots, the hotspot owners earn MOBILE tokens. I think this concept will have its hype but then it will lose its attraction among the masses. For places where installing a mobile tower/cell is not financially viable for mobile operators, this concept will bring much needed connectivity and the people suffering from bad coverage will continue using it. But many will treat it as a business opportunity (free mobile service). For them, more subscribers mean more tokens so they will install the hotspots in already crowded areas and will eventually be competing for more subscribers to latch to their hotspots to sustain their hotspots. With more coverage and fewer subscribers, the hotspots won't be sustainable. Another aspect is the security of the subscribers. How well these hotspots will perform against cyber attacks, Man in the Middle (MitM) attacks? Usually, mobile towers are installed in a secure place. These hotspots will be installed by people in homes and surroundings, with complete physical access available. Nevertheless, its an interesting space to monitor in the upcoming future. https://lnkd.in/d8mc98VS #DecentralizedRAN #TelecomNetworks #MobileNetworks #HeliumNetwork #MobileHotspots #HeliumMobile #Telefónica #NovaLabs

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: 𝗔 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (UPDATED) Updated 22-08-2024: In parallel to the growth of MVNOs in Mexico, the telecom regulator in Mexico (IFT), has also noted in its 2023 report, that the sector has become more competitive, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for mobile telephony services. The #HHI decreased from 5,166 in 2016 to 4,017 at the end of 2023. In addition, the pricing in the market has followed and in 2023 a greater number of GB were offered at lower prices, causing consumption to increase, according to the report’s evaluation. This is exactly what is needed in the Thai telecom market, who is faced with no competition due to a duopoly of only two mobile operators. You can see the update on page 43 and 44 in the report. The report, explores the potential of National Telecom (NTPLC) in Thailand, to partner with a mobile virtual network aggregator and enabler (MVNA/MVNE), to launch a National Wholesale Network for mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) on its #2300MHz spectrum. This approach will foster much needed competition in the Thai market, drive innovation, utilize existing infrastructure and ultimately benefit enterprises and consumers by providing them with more choices and innovative mobile services. Although the regulator in Thailand; Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), announced it was ready to welcome MVNOs earlier this year, it was also supposed to provided a much needed Spectrum Plan for the next 5 years but haven't done so yet, leaving several MVNOs, MVNO candidates, the state-owned National Telecom (NT) and the duopoly (AIS and TRUE), in total darkness on business planning and investment for year 2025. The report is free to download and there is no registration, or email or other data to be entered. https://lnkd.in/grXENhwC #MVNA #MVNE #MVNO #NT #Wholesale #RedCompartida #WholesaleNetwork #5G
